Near Dark is one of the coolest Vampire movies ever made.Â It was over-shadowed by The Lost Boys back in 1987 but is a vastly superior Vampire story.Â Plus it has a handful of the cast from Aliens, including a very entertaining Bill Paxton.Â Also, it stars Adrian Pasdar, totally unknown then but known for his role as Nathan Petrelli in Heroes.

With the recent vampire-craze of Twilight and the much more credible True Blood, Lionsgate has re-released Near Dark with artwork eerily similar to Twilight‘s DVD box art.

However, you should NEVER risk your life just to let your friends know your current status.

Case in point:

A Romanian girl died while Twittering in the Bath tub.Â She reached to plug in her laptop and electrocuted herself to death.

A teenage girl was electrocuted after dropping her laptop into the bath as she twittered in the tub.

Police said they believed Maria Barbu, 17, had tried to plug in her laptop with wet hands after the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak at her home in Brasov, central Romania.

She was found dead by her parents with the laptop lying next to her. [Austrian Times]

Constructed of a soft, flesh-like gel, the remote appears cold when off. Once turned on, however, it seems to come to life. A soft light emanates somewhere from within as the center of the device begins to slowly rise and fall, mimicking the tranquil motions of breath. Left undisturbed, the remote will slumber peacefully. But should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid â€“ the light from within is extinguished.

Ick.Â Call me crazy, but a remote that gets an erection is more creepy than innovative.

Well, over the years Stephen Sommers ‘ grasp of CGI still hasn’t improved. Check out 45 seconds of crappiness from G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.Â Really.Â This looks bad.Â The Master Chief Halo suites are ridiculous.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen (no pun intended).Â Stan Bush is responsible for the awesome 80s anthem from the 1986 animated Transformers: The Movie called “The Touch.” It’s awesome 80s cheese.Â I love it (view the original video after the jump).Â In order to try and cash in on Transformers, Stan Bush decided he’d remake the song.Â I dare you to make it past the horrible rapping.
